For many woodworkers, the joy of designing and building their own furniture grinds to a halt when the time comes to apply a finish, as they fear their creation will be sullied with a lousy finish job. Choosing and applying a finish can be a bewildering task, starting with the dizzying array of product choices and ending at times in disappointment once they are applied. In this class, Alan Noel, a professional furniture restorer with over 35 years of experience, will be your guide to unraveling the mysteries of furniture finishing. Alan will illuminate the criteria for selecting the right finish for a project, so the finish provides the needed level of protection and achieves a look and feel appropriate for the piece. You'll learn the how's and why's of top coats, what's compatible, what's not, and the pros and cons of spray finishing, versus brushing or wiping. Your color eye will be honed as you learn the nuances of staining and dyeing, how to use coloring agents in combination and the secret to color matching. Alan will share tips for getting your finishes smooth and even as well as tips on how to "go backwards" when an application goes awry plus how thinners are the real secret to fine finishing. So come ready with pad and pencil plus all of the questions you can think of for this two day seminar cram packed with information, demonstration and most of all, clarity to the “mysteries of finishing”. Please feel free, and class members are encouraged, to bring in any projects to the class for discussion. All tools and materials will be supplied by Alan. See more details • •
